Belgian colonization began when King Leopard II founded the Congo Free State, a corporate state run solely by the King of Belgium. Reports of wide-spread murder and torture in the rubber plantations, led the Belgium government to seize the colony from the King and established the Belgian Congo. Belgium granted the Congo its independence in 1960. In 1965, Joseph Mobutu renamed the country as Zaire.
